EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Theodor Korner, a German poet and soldier who lived during the 18th century. The portrait showcases his youthful features, highlighting his determination and bravery in fighting against Napoleon as part of the Lützow Free Corps. Theodor Koerner's patriotic spirit is evident in this image, as he composed stirring lyrics to uplift his fellow comrades on the battlefield. Tragically, his life was cut short at just 21 years old when he fell in battle. Despite his untimely demise, Koerner left behind a legacy that continues to inspire generations. The original miniature painting from which this print was created dates back to 1798 and was skillfully crafted by Koerner's sister Emma Koerner. This particular photograph comes from "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures of influential figures throughout history. As we gaze upon this circular print, we are transported back to Germany in 1933 - a time marked by political turmoil and uncertainty. It serves as a reminder not only of Theodor Korner's immense contribution but also of the resilience and courage displayed by countless individuals during times of war. This print is an invaluable piece that encapsulates both artistry and historical significance. It allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by soldiers like Theodor Korner while reminding us never to forget their stories or underestimate the power of patriotism.
